West Virginia mother charged in false abduction report

Weird. Is this a case where she overreacted and then tried to justify it/save face later? Or maybe is she one of those people that crave attention and makes up B.S. to get it?

I remember that one lady during an election year who burned her own face with acid and said it was an a politically motivated attack. I think she burned the candidates name into her face or something as I recall. Crazy people out there.

Never believe what you read in the media -- everyone is pushing an agenda rather than looking for facts. When (or if) the surveillance video is released -- that's when it may be appropriate to make a judgment. Anyway, it's good to see a media outlet say this even if only at the end of the article:

"Unfortunately, as false accusations are becoming more prevalent in today's social media driven society, we are losing our grasp on 'presumed innocent until proven guilty,' and Mr. Zayan has been tried around the world by the court of public opinion," Zayan's public defender attorney, Michelle Protzman, said in a statement Thursday to The Associated Press.
 
Okay, after reading both links, this looks like a wholly preventable debacle spinning off of a mom's extreme embellishment and overreaction.

With that said, this is yet another reason (beyond the 999 I can think of) to not touch other peoples' kids.

IMO the "court of public opinion" works exactly opposite of the legal tenets of U.S. justice system. That's ok when it's just bar, campfire, or kitchen table talk, but unfortunately the MSM is usually the worst offender and can cause real damage to a person.

This is exactly why I would never go to jury trial, unless I really commited a crime).
